I, for one, have had enough of the blatant stupidity that right wingers have shown on this thread.....Facts don't seem to matter........but, just for "fun", I'll restate what I wrote earlier on this thread:
California will NEVER have its 55 electoral votes go to a republican for the WH....so, all the bitching on this thread has been for naught.......
Now, IF Texas and Florida decide to do what you CLAIM that California has done, then the right wing bitching can restart.
And yet a couple of your liberal pals in this thread have tried to blame Republicans for California's problems, why the contradicting posts? Is California firmly in the hands of Democrats or Republicans? Yeah Democrats thought so.
You don't understand how GOPers block legislation and bills huh? Until Brown came back Cal had a GOP Guv for 20 of 23 years dumbfukkk!
Democrats have controlled California at the state and local level for decades dipshit, the mess is your baby. I know maybe the Dem's should raise taxes again. I love California its a shining example of what happens when Democrats are in control.
US largest economy? Yep, throwing out the GOP Guvs who like Prez HAVE MUCH CONTROL (yes Cali had 20 of 23 years a GOP Guv) and Guv Brown has righted the ship? Hurrah Bubba!
You could try Texas with the highest number AND percentage working for min wage though Bubs!
Good... Then the Land of Fruits and Nuts can afford to bail their own ass out...
California Bankrupt?
These California cities could be next in bankruptcy
And talking about nonsense... LOL!!!
Why California is broke, and Texas is not - Economy
Don't understand the difference with a city going under (because they bought into Dubya's credit bubble mostly) and a state? I'm NOT surprised Bubba
OPINION PIECE ON CALI BEING BROKE AND TEXAS ISN'T? LOL

New Jersey, Nevada, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Illinois, Delaware, California, New York, Colorado.
Anything strange about that list? Yes, they are all blue states (or the deepest of purple).
